I've reviewed it, looks OK to me. The only thing not working was the
provided subfeature; I've fixed it in the code. The same subfeature
shall be provided also for dbus.el; users don't care about dbusbind.c.

In dbus.texi I have fixed a small error in your example, and I have
added a note how to test the subfeature.

I've committed my changes to the branch. If nobody else objects, you
might merge it into master.

Additionally, it might be helpful if you could add some tests to
test/automated/dbus-tests.el.
